this isn't something i've ever done, but having fiddled quite a bit in the
network stack, and with drivers, so...
in any case, you will need to add muticast addresses to the hw interfaces.
assuming ethernet, ether(3) has the correct information. if you want to
associate that mc address with a name, you'll need to edit your ndb files
to have sys=name ether=mcaddress.
if the protocol you're using is ip, you'll need to also need to bind in an
ip mc address. using ipconfig(8) is generally easiest. i don't see any reason
why you can't add it in like a non-mc address. you may also wish
to add a dom= line to your ndb file.
